Weight Loss Week One: So I Guess This is Happening

I’m not even going to go into specifics about how much I ate over the past week, and how much weight I gained (clearly, the opposite of what I was supposed to be doing). I will tell you, however, that I ate at Eagle’s Deli twice on Sunday, and as most of you know, this is the worst possible thing you could do for weight loss, your heart, your digestive system, your skin and basically any type of overall health. For breakfast, I ordered a #6, which is basically one of everything. And for dinner I had mozzarella sticks and french fries forced upon me by my cousin Elizabeth (you know her as the cute girl behind the register). Ugh. Even if I hadn’t eaten anything for the next four days it still would have been a gain week. So to punish myself for it, I’ve decided to run a half marathon.

Taking Matters into My Own Hands: An Attempt to Save Borders Booksellers

As many of you have already heard, our beloved chain bookstore Borders declared bankruptcy on February 16. While this may not cramp the style of a lot of you, this disheartens me very much because a) there’s a Borders very close to my office, while the nearest Barnes and Noble is considerably further away, and b) as a member of the publishing industry I feel I’m partly responsible for perpetuating the online/e-book revolution that is putting a hit on the economy, cutting jobs and quite literally revolutionizing the world as we know it.

Since there is only so much I can do in a day, and I haven’t quite figured out how to fit world domination in between going to the gym and watching Pretty Little Liars, I traveled over to the Borders bookstore on Boylston Street yesterday to see if I could make any kind of dent in their financial woes. Inside, the store promised 20 percent off of everything, that is, if you could find it.

100 Days Til RJ and Nicole’s Wedding: Things Just Got Serious

So as I’m sure you remember from the end of last year, there are approximately 1 bigillion weddings going on. And I successfully attempted to lose weight for all of them between August and December. However, we’ve been on a reprieve from weddings over the past few months, and unfortunately, some of those pounds came back.

If you take a look over to the right side of the screen (over there…over there) you’ll see that there are 100 days until Arge and Nik tie the knot (Memorial Day weekend, on Long Island…it’s a New York wedding people!), and I have every intention of losing 10 pounds in those 100 days. Since I practically forced them under penalty of death to go skydiving with me this summer, I figure I should at least look presentable when I do a reading/break out into an original song and dance number during their ceremony. It’s happening.

So it’s back to Zumba, Yoga, and possibly once-a-week Chipotle for this girl. Ugh. I might actually have to go grocery shopping for the first time in 2011. Losing weight is a pain in the (smaller) ass. Check back next week for my first weigh in results – and don’t hesitate to send some love along. Good luck to me!
